do {
ch = (char) x;
System.out.print(ch + " ");
if (x % 10 == 0)
break;
++x;
} while (x <= 100);

Ans.

The do-while loop runs for values of x from 97 to 100 and prints the corresponding char values.

97 is the ASCII value for a, 98 is the ASCII value for 99…

So, the output will be

a b c d

  1. Write an equivalent while() loop for the following for() loop.
int s=0;

long num=8729, sum 0;
for( long y= num; y> 0; y= y/10){
sum= sum + y % 10;
}
System.out.println("Sum of digits = "+ sum);
  1. Analyze the following program segment and determine how many times the body of loop will executed ?
int x= 5;
int y= 75;
while (x <= y) {
y =y/x;
System.out.println(y);
}

Ans.

    • The above loop will execute two times
    • Value of x                      value of y

                  5                          75 ->It is initial values, check for the condition x<= y
(true), enters into loop

                                              15 -> new value y= 15, again check for the condition
x<= y (true)

                                               3 ->new value y= 3, again check for the condition
x<= y (false) Loop gets terminated.

    • Output:

15
3

The loop will execute 3 times and the output is 60

  1. Write the output of the program.
public class t200
{
public static void main()
{
int i,n=5,s=0;
double f=0;
for(i=n;i>0;i–)
{
s=i*i;
f=(Math.pow(s,2))-i;
System.out.println(f);
}
}
}

Ans

620.0
252.0
78.0
14.0
0.0

  1. What is the output of this code? Give explanation as well.
long num=729, sum 0;
for( long y= num; y> 0; y= y/10){
sum= sum + y % 10;
}
System.out.println("Sum of digits = "+ sum);

Ans.

Sum of digits = 18

Explanation: 
    Initialization num = 729, sum = 0, y = 729
    Iteration 1: sum = 0 + 729 % 10 = 9
    Iteration 2: y = 729/10 = 72
    sum = 9 + 72%10 = 11
    Iteration 3 y = 72/10 = 7
    sum = 11 + 7%10 = 18
    y = 7/10 = 0 so the loop exits.
    Print: Sum of digits = 18
  1. What will be the output of the following code?    
int m=2
int n=15;
for(int i=1;i<5;i++)
m++; - - n;

System.out.println("n="+n);

Ans

m = 6
n =14

  1. Give the general syntax of a while-loop. How do you create infinite loops using a while-loop structure?

Ans.

The syntax of a while loop is,

while (condition or test-expression)
{
bodyoftheloop;
}
One of the method of creating an infinite loop is to write ‘true’ in the test-expression of the loop.
while(true)
System.out.println(“Infinite”);
  1. Give the general syntax of a do-while loop. How do you create infinite loops using do-while loop structure?

Ans.

The syntax of the do while loop is:

do
{
statement;
}while (condition);
Infinite loop using do-while loop:
do
{
System.out.println(“Infinite”);
}while(true);
  1. Give the output and determine how many times the loop will execute:
x=1; y=1;
while(x<=y)
{
y = y/x;
System.out.println(y);
}

Ans.

x=1; y=1;
x<=y -> the loop executes.
y=y/x =1/1=1
x<=y -> the loop execution continues

The entire process will continue infinite number of times, with the output as 1 in different lines.

  1. Convert the following segment into an equivalent do loop.
int x,c;
for (x=10, c=20; c>=10; c = c – 2)
x++;

Ans.

int x=10,c=20;
do
{
x++;
c=c-2;
}while(c>=10);
  1. Give the output of the following program segment and also mention how many times the loop is executed:
int i;
for (i = 5 : i > 10; i ++)
System.out.println(i);
System.out.println(i * 4);

Ans.

20

The loop does not execute, as the condition results to false.

  1. Convert the following while loop to the corresponding for loop:
int m = 5, n = 10;
while (n>=1)
{
System.out.println(m*n);
n--;
}

Ans.

int m=5,n;
for(n=10;n>=1;n--)
{
System.out.println(m*n);
}
  1. Convert following do-while loop into for loop.
int i = 1;
int d=5;
do {
d=d*2;
System.out.println(d;)
i++ ; } while (i<=5);

Ans.

int i,d=5;
for(i=1;i<=5;i++)
{
d=d*2;
System.out.println(d);
}
  1. What will be the output of the following code?
int m=2;
int n=15;
for(int i = 1; i<5; i++);
m++; – –n;
System.out.println(“m=” +m);
System.out.println(“n=” +n);

Ans.

m=3
n=14

  1. Analyse the following program segment and determine how many times the loop will be executed and what will be the output of the program segment.
int k=1, i=2;
while (++i<6)
k*=i;

  1. Analyse the given program segment and answer the following questions:

(i) Write the output of the program segment.
(ii) How many times does the body of the loop gets executed?

for(int m=5; m<=20; m+=5)
{
if(m%3 == 0)
break;
else
if(m%5 == 0)
System.out.println(m);
continue;
}

Ans.

i. Output:
                   5
                   10

ii. The loop executes 3 times.

  1. Give the output of the following program segment and also mention the number of times the loop is executed:
int a,b;
for(a=6,b=4;a<=24;a=a+6)
{
if(a%b==0)
break;
}
System.out.println(a);

Ans.

Loop initialization: a = 6, b = 4

First iteration:

Condition check: a <= 24 — 6 <= 24 —- true
Loop is executed for the first time
Loop execution: a % b = 6 % 4 = 2 != 0 Hence, break is not executed
Loop increment operator: a = 1 + 6 — a = 6 + 6 = 12

Second iteration:

Condition check: a <= 24 — 12 <= 24 —- true
Loop is executed for the second time
Loop execution: a % b = 12 % 4 = 0 = 0 Hence, break is executed
System.out.println(a); — 12

Output is 12 and loop is executed two times

  1. Analyze the given program segment and answer the following questions  

(i) Write the output of the program segment

(ii) How many times does the body of the loop gets executed?

for(int m=5; m<=20; m+=5)
{
if(m%3 == 0)
break;
else
if(m%5 == 0)
System.out.println(m);
continue;
}

Ans.

For loop initialization: m = 5
Loop condition check: m <= 20 = 5 <=20 = true
Loop execution for first time
    m%3 = = 0
= 5 % 3 = = 0
= 2 = = 0
= false
else is executed

   m%5 = = 0
= 5 % 5 = = 0
= 0 = = 0
= true
5 is printed

Loop increment statement is executed: m+=5 = m = m + 5 = 5 + 5 = 10
Loop condition check: m <= 20 = 10 <=20 = true

Loop body is executed second time and 10 is printed
Loop increment statement is executed: m+=5 = m = m + 5 = 10 + 5 = 15
Loop condition check: m <= 20 = 15 <=20 = true

Loop body is executed third time

    m%3 = = 0
= 15 % 3 = = 0
= 0 = = 0
= true
break statement is executed and loop terminates

(i) 5
     10

(ii) 3 times

  1. What is the output of following code?
